The Day I Gave My Heart To Jesus

The Day I Gave My Heart to Jesus!

I was thinking about something
 the other day.
I was almost at a loss for the
right words to say.

I was thinking about a time
"way back when."
That day I became born again.
There was a passion for Jesus, 
that I once had.
Excitement in my life,
and a heart so glad.

A love for Christ
overwhelmed my soul.
I loved Jesus! He had
made me whole.

I've forgotten many things, 
I once knew.
Reading God's word…
I no longer do.

What’s happened to me?
I'm so ashamed!
I'm an embarrassment to
Jesus' holy name. 

So, dear Jesus, my knees
I humbly bow.
Please change my life...
I need you now!

By your word, transform
me deep within.
I confess to you my backsliding sin.

I recommit my life NOW! Yes I do!
And by your love, I'm made
BRAND NEW!
